gibblegabbler This is a great film. Anyone who likes the film-noir genre should definitely make sure to catch this one. Great performances and a really nice story.

clanciai A fascinating account of complications, when a man cultivates his weakness for mistresses to constant points of no return... The real star here is Susan Hayward, although Robert Young is convincing enough in his desperate situation of confusion caught in a web of unfortunate turns, for which he blames and sentences himself, as any loving man would do, while it's impossible to judge him, while all his innocent dames are equally totally innocent... No one could expect any of all this to happen, least of all the victims. The force of the intrigue is the dialogue and the intelligent turns of the story, a fascinating labyrinth impossible to guessd at what it will offer next, and the crown of the piece is the dialogue between Robert Young and Susan Hayward.It's a great, concise and explicit noir, told with stringency and realism, and all you can say afterwards is, poor fellow...

Richie-67-485852 Most excellent entertainment that triggers the viewers interest. This movie is like a fresh pie baking in the oven. Enjoy the expectation of what is to come, the smell and in time, the fist slice delivers well. Enjoy Robert Young too as he narrates this interesting story in a way where you can relate as it is being told which is a gift to be able to do. It is interesting to note that when he is finished, he says that is the truth the whole truth and is exhausted and full of sweat. You won't find that in today's courtrooms as everyone tries to lie the best way they can in most cases. I like movies where you can discuss what would you have done? This is that movie. Nice range of human emotions displayed and pay special attention to the ranch (one of three properties) they end up buying. Its got location, atmosphere, horses, nature, waterfalls, streams, charm, seclusion and who wouldn't like to live there? Answer: Someone who is not happy! Goes to show you that wherever you go, there you are and no amount of outside goodies will sooth your insides if your guilt which stems from wrong choices is not corrected. The twist compliments and soothes until the twist of twists delivers the stunning knock-out blow! Good movie to eat with, snack and have a tasty drink. There is an old saying that is appropriate for the ending: "most people pull in the reigns of their horses right before they are scheduled to jump". The idea is to let it have reign to complete its moment successfully. The reign here was pulled too tight by the movie character....The lesson? Free reign!

vincentlynch-moonoi The first problem with this film is that there's no way you're going to like the lead character, played by Robert Young. He's a decided womanizer and as unfaithful as they come -- a wife and 2 lovers in just 95 minutes. Not to mention being a would-be murderer.The second problem with this film is that you're not going to like the wife (Rita Johnson), either. She's clearly manipulating her husband with her money.The third problem with this film is that you're not going to like the first "other woman", played by Jane Greer...well, you might have a little sympathy for her, and there's an interesting twist with this character.The fourth problem with this film is that you're not going to like the second "other woman", played by Susan Hayward. Clearly a gold digger.The fifth problem with this film is that there are just too many coincidences to be viable.Not liking a single main character is problematic for the film. Who does the audience root for? Nevertheless, as unbelievable as the story line may be, it's still pretty interesting with enough twists to keep your attention. And, while you won't like the characters, the acting is pretty decent.
